I use amavisd-new and it works just great.
Also, on another note please be very carefull using /Match Something/
FILTER ??:??
I created an endless loop the other day when the message_id of an email was
caught by a header_check
I had was checking for /sex/ instead of something like /^Subject: sex/
However, I use the virtual user table, and the alias table to filter any
emails that come in ending in emailadmin.com
/etc/virtual
/^(.*)@emailadmin\.com$/ emailadmin+$1 at domainname.com
/etc/aliases
emailadmin: "| perl /var/email_admin.i $EXTENSION"
let me know if this is something like what you want and I will be happy to
explain further.

As mentioned in another reply, the setup is the same as for
content_filter. My setup for content_filter is thus:
content_filter = amavisd-new:[127.0.0.1]:10024
amavisd-new is foo, the rest is bar. amavisd-new references an entry in
your master.cf file. Mine, for example, is:
amavisd-new unix - - n - 2 lmtp
-o lmtp_data_done_timeout=1200s
-o disable_dns_lookups=yes
As you can see, postfix passes the message to amavisd-new via LMTP.
Amavisd-new then scans the message (using clamav) and returns clean
messages to a smtpd process listening on port 10025 as started by this
master.cf entry:
127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd
-o content_filter=
-o local_recipient_maps=
-o relay_recipient_maps=
-o smtpd_restriction_classes=
-o smtpd_client_restrictions=
-o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
-o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
-o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
-o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
-o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes
That smtp process sends the message on to its final destination, be that
locally (though your mail delivery agent (MDA)) or externally.
If you're only concerned about incoming messages, another option you may
want to look into is sending the message to your filter using your MDA,
which is probably procmail or maildrop. They both provide ample
functionality for passing a message to an external filter. I can walk
you through setting up the filter in Maildrop if you like. I'm sure
others here have procmail experience they can contribute.
